Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life 231 Dot After Do

Moreover, he was still having a mentality that he could not win against the adult. He was truly puzzled by his Master's choice.

His Master could just pick any random Iron Class Ranker or even Bronze Class Ranker. Why it had to be a Silver Class Ranker.

It was not that Xu Lingxun did not trust Heero. But he was just not confident enough to face a Silver Class Ranker this early.

Heero smiled in amusement and hit Xu Lingxun's head lightly, "Who's asking you to kill Yan Tie? I am asking you to collect information, everything about him. Haven't you learned it from your senior brother, collecting the information?"

"Moreover, how do you know you can't win against him?"

From the tone he spoke, the boy perceived his Master was confident in him to win against Silver Class Hero, especially this Yan Tie.

"But why him? I can try from the Iron Class Ranker and slowly put my target to the higher class ranker!" Xu Lingxun was being cautious.

Even though he was flattered and happy that his Master trusted in his ability. Xu Lingxun did not want to overestimate himself.

"Mnn, you are right! Then why don't we start with the Bronze Class Ranker?" Heero lowered the class by a level.

The boy took a deep breath and nodded his head.

"Then, what about collecting evidence about a gambling den, " Heero sent another file to his disciple.

He had been searching on the forum about the rankers' misdeeds. Then, he found a report about Bronze Class Ranker opening a gambling den.

The gambling den was in fact just a disguise while the main business was human trafficking. These bandits kidnapped many girls and sold them to the commerce region to be a prostitute.

Coincidentally, the gambling den was not far from the Xing District. About five kilometers to the north.

The original poster reported this issue to the Central Government and the Hero League. Unfortunately, the original poster lacked evidence.

The Hero League and the Central Government ignored the report hence the original poster posted the issue on the forum. The post said his girlfriend was kidnapped by this group of bandits. He posted this on the forum with the intention that someone would help him

Reading through the data he received. Xu Lingxun nodded his head resolutely.

"M-master, I have a question, " Xu Lingxun hesitantly opened his mouth.

"Mnn, ask away, "

"Why did you choose the ranker as the target? There are many criminals outside there. Why does it have to be a ranker? Is it because of me?"

The boy asked with a concerned look plastered on his face. Offending the Ranker Alliance just for him, he did not want that as he clearly remembered how ruthless the rankers might be.

"My… my… my… so you are concerned about me?" Heero smiled in return. His smile was always comforting and calming.

Xu Lingxun nodded his head subconsciously. Heero was his master and his benefactor, he did not want something bad happened to his benefactor.

"Stupid child! Of course, I am doing this for you and you don't need to be concerned for a mere ranker. Moreover, the main concern is I am just enforcing the law as the Chief of Hero Instructor, " Heero winked playfully at Xu Lingxun.

In fact, this was Heero's retaliation to the Ranker Alliance. First, he banned rankers from entering his district.

It was the first step. It did not cause massive loss, but they no longer could purchase the goods from the district such as ordering gears from Blacksmith Huang or the medicine from his pharmacy.

Second, he would root the Ranker Alliance with a legal means, not a crude way such as assassinating them one by one.

He would use the thing called law that regulated the rankers and the heroes against the Ranker Alliance. Jailing those rankers one by one.

Moreover, this could be training to hone Xu Lingxun's skill for his revenge. Exposing those people who had slaughtered his family and let those people get what they deserved.

Xu Lingxun nodded his head and bowed his head gratefully. He was truly grateful for what his Master did for him.

The boy left the rooftop after that. From the look of his face, he could not hold back to train the new footstep.

Heero nodded with satisfaction at his disciple's enthusiasm. He stayed on the rooftop for a while as his eyes fixed to the dark sky filled with stars.

"I wonder what my Master's doing right now…"

Out of the blue, he kinda missed his Master. The man he regarded as a father since his real father died under the specter's hand.

Just as his thoughts were wandering around, a vibration from his smartwatch caused him to snap out of his wild thoughts.

He looked down, it was Sun Zhou Yi. His first disciple sent him texts and also pictures.

Curious, Heero unlocked his smartwatch and read the message. He received four paragraphs of texts, summarising what Sun Zhou Yi encountered in the third dungeon.

A ruin of a vast city, the big discovery inside the third dungeon. He re-read the text twice to make sure to read it properly.

The ruin was a big clue regarding the dungeon. So he did not want to miss a single detail. After re-read the text for the third time, he looked at pictures.

The first picture was a massive wall. After the massive wall, it was a massive gate.

Heero observed the gate carefully for a little longer. He felt a familiarity with the gate, but he still could not confirm his guess unless he visited the ruin by himself.

The next pictures were the ruin of the city. Looking at the exterior of the buildings that still stood straight, Heero found the city was somehow familiar to him.

It was not that he had been or seen the city, but he felt he heard about the unique building made of stone.

Then a memory flashed in his mind.

— Once upon a time, In Watu City...

In a wooden house, a five years old boy sat on the ground and looked up to an old man. The old man was sitting on the rocking chair with great enthusiasm.

The old man was telling a Legendary Hero tale that was born from Watu City.

—… Watu means stone, it's a city made of stone…

The old man's voice lingered in Heero's head as the old man was describing how beautiful Watu City was.

— Even though the building looks like a stone stacked together, the building is sturdy…

"It seems the building is not as sturdy as your thought to be, Grandpa, " Heero muttered melancholy while swiping through the picture one by one.

Heero let out a sigh and shook his longing away as he focused his thoughts.

"Mnn, the Legendary Stone City is inside the third dungeon. Does it mean the dungeon is related to Dramonia?"

Heero rubbed his chin, thinking about the first and the second dungeon.

The first dungeon did not have any clue that connected that place to Dramonia.

However, the second dungeon did. The existence of a specter that only existed in Dramonia. Heero had been looking through Earth history. He didn't find anything about the specter on Earth.

It meant the specter was not something that came from Earth. As for the specter that attacked the city, Heero guessed there were more dungeons that had not been discovered yet. Those specters came from the dungeon.

Now the third dungeon was practically telling him that the third dungeon was part of Dramonia.

"Did I miss something?" Heero muttered while recalling the first dungeon. It was just a lush forest, a perfect habitat for the beast.

"Ah, the beast inside the first dungeon is about the same as…" He stopped halfway as the Hero League's archive recorded similar beasts with the beasts inside the first dungeon.

"It seems the only way to get the answer is to re-investigate the first dungeon. After that, I will visit the third dungeon…"

Heero made his plan, but there was something concerning him. His wives and daughter's safety. He was worried about leaving them while the Ranker Alliance targeted him.

The dot after dot was connected and he was about to find the secret behind the dungeon. He felt that if he found the secret behind the dungeon, he might find the truth why he ended up being on Earth now.

"Let's wait for Sun Zhou Yi and Hirata back. The investigation can wait, but I can't compromise their safety…"
